On Sunday, former US President Donald Trump criticized AI critics, calling them "negative" forces who should not be raising concerns about the technology's development. During a visit to Ireland, Trump dismissed worries that AI could have negative outcomes, stating that such fears were unfounded. This came after AI researcher Jacob Coxon left the industry, accusing his former employers OpenAI and Anthropic of recklessly developing models that could pose existential threats.
Coxon wrote that AI builders believed the technology could end humanity by the end of the decade. In response, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged companies to slow down the rapid development of AI, warning of the risks posed by "superintelligent" systems. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, the owner of xAI, agreed with Amodei's assessment, as pressure mounts for stricter regulation. Elon Musk also revealed that his company will not go public this year, citing safety concerns.
